About the Designer

After discovering a passion for design while working in the costume department during high school, Rebecca Minkoff moved to New York at 18 to pursue her dream of becoming a designer. Minkoff reworked the iconic ‘I Love New York’ tee as part of a 2001 capsule collection, and the piece set her career in motion. She launched her namesake label that same year and released her first handbag silhouette, the ‘Morning After Bag’ (MAB), in 2005. Rebecca Minkoff returned to her design roots in 2009, adding apparel to the lifestyle label, and in 2010, expanded the brand to include Rebecca Minkoff footwear.

This is my most prized clothing possession. I love how it feels, how it drapes, how it's slightly cropped in the back; it drapes the body beautifully. I had to size up for fear of tight arms and a large fits me perfectly. I'm normally a medium. This blazer can make any outfit smart and sophisticated!

After reading all the reviews, I decided to order a size S, and it fits great! I usually wear XS/S because i am only 5'3. I do not consider myself to be a stick skinny petite girl either. I am just average. I was a little nervous about the sleeves being too tight as some reviews said. it is more on the fitted side, but not so tight that i don't have room to feel comfortable, and to top it off, i'm 7 months pregnant and swollen, and it still feels comfortable. I probably could've gotten away with an XS but didn't want to risk the sleeves. the shoulder pads don't stick out off my shoulders either. Overall, it's a very nice blazer and looks just like the picture.

The color is great - I have a few other Becky jackets so I know that I love the silhouette. I hope to wear this in fall and winter with denim and casual tees.
If you have broad shoulders, this jacket may not be for you. I've tried both mediums and larges - the fit is always tight through the shoulders. I always go with the medium though for the sleeve length.

As everyone has already said, the jacket arms are a tad tight. And like other people said it would be perfect for summer with a T. The problem that I found was the strange shoulder pads. They might work for the rest of you gilrs but they made my shoulders look almost droopy and sad. Usually I am a small but bought the medium as the sizing is smaller so maybe that was the problem. All in all a STUNNING jacket, but for the price I personally don't think its worth it...
